Chapter 4: The Reunion of Life and Death
"How? Shall we give it a try? ”
Chen Ying's eyes were full of provocation, in the past, when they were on Ryukyu Island, they often used to dive in the sea to compete, but today, they are undoubtedly gambling with their lives.
"As long as you lose, don't cry!"
Wu Jin smiled and brushed off his robe. Revealing a tight diving suit with black fish skin, his tall and burly body was full of the strength of a man's surname, and Chen Ying was wearing the same tight suit, standing together, like a couple in the sea, as vibrant and full of vitality, which made the surrounding pirates a little stunned.
Yu Hailan carefully wrapped the two swarthy round objects tightly with fish bile membranes, and wrapped them in oiled paper, they will dive into the sea, waterproof is the first priority.
Wu Jin tied everything he needed to his waist, and picked up a hook stick, he glanced at Chen Ying, Chen Ying was also looking at him, the time to set off had come, Wu Jin stretched out his thumb to her, this is the gesture of the Phoenix Society, which means to accept the challenge, Chen Ying's eyes lit up, and he also stretched out his thumb, and the thumbs of the two pressed together in the air, and then the two black shadows jumped down the unfathomable sea like a petrel in a storm.
The icy sea water didn't pass above his head for a moment, and Wu Jin seemed to feel that he was back at the moment when the plane crashed into the sea, he seemed to sink into an unknown, mysterious dark world, and sank all the way to the depths of the seabed, which was so black that it was heart-palpitating, as if a bloody mouth had been opened, waiting for him gloomily.
A wave of the sea swelled, forming a powerful invisible force, quickly pushing him away, the power of the current was so strong, he couldn't help himself, he tried his best to rush to the sea, but it seemed that there was an invisible force that grabbed his feet and dragged him to the bottomless abyss, he encountered a whirlpool formed by the entanglement and intersection of more than a dozen undercurrents, and the undercurrents attacked, as if countless fish were gnawing at his body, every muscle in his body felt torn, and every cell of his seemed to explode.
Wu Jin was horrified in his heart, he tried his best to get rid of the envelope of this whirlpool, but he tried several times without success, and just when he felt like he was about to suffocate, a mountain of overwhelming force pushed towards him, 'Wow! With a bang, he rushed out of the water with the thrust of this current, and the fresh sea breeze blew in his face, and his mind suddenly cleared.
Just the moment he entered the water, he also saw Chen Ying's figure, the sea was just a white mist, Chen Ying was gone, and his big boat was gone.
Wu Jin was extremely worried in his heart, he looked around, turned over again, and lay on his back on the sea, still did not see Chen Ying, but saw his big ship, in the fog there was only the outline of a big ship, and it had already thrown him away more than 30 zhang, Wu Jin secretly sighed, he had no time to think about it, turned over again, and struggled to swim towards the first big ship in the southwest direction...... In a moment, a huge sea ship passed by him, and the waves discharged from the big ship pushed him out more than a foot away, Wu Jin looked at the swarthy giant in front of him like a hill, he seemed so small, at this time he heard the shouts above, although he couldn't hear what they were shouting, but they definitely didn't find themselves, they never dreamed that someone would dare to jump into such a dark and terrifying sea, they couldn't have imagined that this official ship full of tax silver, the bodyguard turned out to be their sworn enemy Phoenix Society.
The opportunity is in front of him, Wu Jin took a deep breath, a fierce man dived into the sea, he broke through the barrier of the current, and dived under the big boat, but the strong current brought out by the big boat when it was moving, still ruthlessly rolled him backwards, he couldn't help himself, he swung the hook stick several times and hit the wall of the boat, but it was slippery, and the mossy wall of the boat could not be hooked at all.
At the moment when he was about to be thrown away from the big ship, Wu Jin saw a gap between the planks of the ship, and he seized this last opportunity to strike hard, hook and stick 'click!' With a thud, he was firmly nailed into the gap in the wall of the wooden boat, and quickly stabilized his figure, and the big boat began to drag him against the current.
This is a small hook made of fine iron, one end is a sharp and thin hook, very sharp, can be firmly hooked to the ship, this is one of the pirates to watch the house, if Wu Jin can not attach the big ship in time, he will be thrown in the boundless sea, waiting for him will be a dead end, this is the danger of climbing the boat in the high-speed boat, countless pirates are killed in this highly dangerous game.
In fact, he was very lucky, in order to cover his whereabouts, the White Sands Society used three cargo ships, instead of the White Sands Society's own ships, if it was a pirate ship, they would install sharp blades on the bottom of the ship, and under the impact of the current, these sharp blades could instantly splinter the raider into pieces.
At this time, it was already two watches, and in the dark and boundless night, four large ships were still sailing at high speed in the vast sea.
Chen Ying was a little luckier than Wu Jin, after she jumped into the sea, she was also swept away by an undercurrent, and when she rushed out of the water, she happened to be under the ship she was responsible for.
Her body has an incomparably flexible surname, although Wu Jin's surname Shui is no worse than her, but in terms of completing some difficult movements, compared to Chen Ying, he is beyond the dust.
Chen Ying didn't dive into the bottom of the boat to look for an opportunity at all, when she was still a zhang away from the big ship wall, she used a miniature hand crossbow to shoot a flying line, generally crossbow arrows are afraid of water, the string will become soft when it encounters water, but her hand crossbow is shot out with a powerful stretch spring, tied to her wrist like a cylinder, the other end of the zipline is a sharp hook claw, within a zhang, can be firmly nailed to the wooden board.
Chen Ying used the little power of this zipline to jump up from the water and cling to a gap in the wall like a spider, using three water spines to build a temporary shelf for herself, which was enough to support her soft body.
........ It was a hot summer, but Wu Jin felt that his body was almost frozen, and he was busy for a quarter of an hour before he completely fixed his body on the left wall.
At this time, he looked to the north worriedly, the fog was gradually blown away by the sea breeze, and he could see another big ship hundreds of steps away in the distance, the ship was also moving at a rapid speed, without the slightest sign of explosion, Wu Jin couldn't help but be very worried, did Chen Ying climb the hull of the ship? Will it be swept away by the currents? Maybe her water surname is better than herself, maybe she is more flexible, maybe she is a little more experienced, maybe ...... In fact, Wu Jin knows better than anyone else in his heart, and what is more important is a bit of luck, did Chen Ying get this kind of luck from him?
As soon as he thought of this, he saw a red light burst out in the distance, followed by a thunderous explosion, Wu Jin was shocked in his heart, and then he was overjoyed, Chen Ying had succeeded.
He didn't have any worries anymore, and his hands trembled and he felt for the flint and the fire fold, 'Click! Click! Two sounds, a flame appeared in his hand, he used his body to block the sea breeze, the flame was still torn by the wind, and at this time the black round object had been nailed to the wall of the ship, this is a kind of military iron mine, shaped like a small flat pumpkin, under the iron mine there are four sharp long thorns, which can be nailed directly to the hull of the ship.
In his world, it was also in the late Northern Song Dynasty that iron-clad mines were invented, and the two worlds were synchronized in the use of gunpowder.
He glanced again at the large ship in the distance, which was half-sunk and sinking very quickly, and there was a shouting above him.
The fire fold finally lit the fuse, 'Shhh With a bang, the lead began to burst into flames, and the white heat rose, and Wu Jin was already ready, he pulled out his dagger and cut the rope that held his body in place, and kicked his feet violently, and his body jumped a foot away in the air, falling into the sea.
This time, he did not encounter a whirlpool, but only a single wave, and he rushed out of the water and swam with all his might, and after the first explosion of the boat, it slowed down and waited for them to return.
Wu Jin struggled to swim in the sea, but only swam a dozen feet away, when he heard a thunderous explosion behind his head, 'Boom! The explosion was deafening, so startled that his heart was about to stop beating, a black shadow swept over his head, and fell heavily in front of his eyes, this is a ship wall about a foot long, was blown to pieces, he looked back, only to see that a big black hole was blown open in the wall of the ship, the sea water was surging in, the big ship obviously began to sink, the deck screams, shouts, terrified...... "Wu Jin, you bastard, where are you?" Wu Jin—"
Chen Ying's crying voice came from his ears, his voice was intermittent in the wind, Wu Jin turned around violently, looking for it on the sea, and he also shouted anxiously, "Heimei, I'm here!" ”
I saw a black shadow swimming towards him suddenly, appearing a zhang away, the familiar figure was Chen Ying, Wu Jin saw Chen Ying who was safe and sound, and his heart was ecstatic, at this time, Chen Ying suddenly screamed, his voice was extremely anxious, "What are you stupid looking at, don't run away quickly!" ”
As soon as Wu Jin turned around, he saw that the big ship had tilted, and the huge black mast was smashing towards his head, he was taken aback, and struggled to escape from the water where the mast fell, and once it sank, a huge whirlpool would appear on the surface of the water, and the surrounding objects of dozens of zhang would be sucked into the bottom of the sea.
He followed Chen Ying, and the two of them swam away from the big boat one after the other, until they swam out of a hundred zhang away, they stopped their bodies, looked back, the big boat just now had disappeared, and they saw a huge whirlpool appear on the sea, and all the people on the big ship were swept into the deep sea together with the big ship.
Wu Jin and Chen Ying glanced at each other, a kind of excitement for the rest of their lives surged in their hearts at the same time, they hugged each other tightly, this was another celebration of victory, Chen Ying's strings that were tensed because of worry suddenly broke, and the whimpering and tears of joy that she didn't expect at all poured into her heart, so strong that she trembled all over, so much so that she actually cried out loud, "You idiot..... I thought you were dead! ”
"Nope! None of us died! ”
Wu Jin held her tightly in his arms and whispered in her ear, Chen Ying did not escape back to the ship after the successful explosion, but came to find herself, which made Wu Jin have a deep feeling in her heart, they were a reunion of life and death.
